Man sues over commercial use of mugshot

After an Ohio man’s 2005 arrest for huffing gold spray paint, his gilt-chinned police mugshot raced around the Internet, ensuring him “worldwide infamy”. Now he’s represented by a lawyer who’s suing entities that have used his visage on “T-shirts, coffee mugs and even a billboard in Europe.” [AP, Legal Blog Watch]
